Forbidden Love

A Poem by honey

Our world has been consumed with hypocrisy
That we bleed our own hearts with hurtful denials
So much weight placed on respect based on age and societal differences
Yet convincing ourselves that age is just figures and love isn't money

Perhaps the society has fiddled with our rationality
And placed so much confusion in us that we justify its own rationale
With the only love that was ever reciprocated
Such faithfulness, reduced to a tale of bittersweet and of hurtful desires

They were ridiculed with some feigning assumption that she was his mother
The woman was a decade older than the man
And had amassed such wealth to last them a lifetime
Yet the love was undiluted and heaven- sent
Controversial and valid

This is no fairy-tale that ends with happily ever after
It was a roller-coaster of pain and regret
With both parents leading the panel that issued such verdict
That they were exiled for a crime of unsimulated love

Never blame a spinster
Never blame a bachelor
Society robbed some of their soulmates
And has eternally hurt them with its legislation
With wounds that still bleed and never form scars

Dear honey, the words, read like a song.
"This is no fairy-tale that ends with happily ever after
It was a roller-coaster of pain and regret
With both parents leading the panel that issued such verdict
That they were exiled for a crime of unsimulated love "
The above lines were my favorite. They are true and honest thoughts. Thank you for sharing the powerful words and your thoughts.
